The current Ukrainian protests were set off by the
announcement on Thursday (21 Nov.) that the Ukrainian government would no
longer pursue preparations for the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union in order to
"ensure the national security of Ukraine "
and "restore lost trade volumes with the Russian Federation ." The deal
would have created a new framework for trade between the former Soviet republic
and the EU, but was seen as worrisome by Russia, which had threatened economic
sanctions and travel restrictions should the deal go through.
We will
analyze this development using the chart for the current Libra Ingress of the
Sun at Kiev ,Ukraine – a standard procedure in
mundane astrology. The first thing that strikes us is how powerful the Ingress
chart is with the Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter T-square on the angles along with the
TNPs Kronos-Hades.
Pluto-Uranus : Power struggles (Pluto) with friends or within groups (Uranus); change
or unexpected reactions (Uranus) based on resentments, ultimatums and threats
to control (Pluto); to recognize that a threat of separation or demand for
independence (Uranus) can bring vindictive reactions (Pluto). [1]
Pluto in 7th house
You might simultaneously fear and desire complete
absorption in a close one-to-one relationship. You might find yourself both
drawn to and resistant of close partnerships, fearing loss of control over your
own life. [2]
Jupiter [17cn]
is conjunct the star Wasat [18cn] which joins the twins Castor and Pollux.
"The Twins" are marked by the two
principal stars: Pollux, the immortal extraterrestrial one, and Castor the
mortal terrestrial one, the extraterrestrial incarnate. These two stars, which
mark the Twins' heads, lie in the last few degrees of sidereal Gemini. The
Twins stand upon the galactic equator at a 60° angle to the ecliptic plane,
with the "Feet of the Twins" lying in earlier Gemini, upon the
"Gate of Man". Thus, Gemini is a galactic constellation and an
ecliptical constellation, which inspires the expression of sol / soul purpose
through the daily activity of humankind--the theme of the Gate of Man. Sidereal
Gemini is of high intensity intellectual communication, information, commerce,
goods and services, and of their exchange. Castor is the liaison in the
world of daily human affairs, and is of partnerships and cooperation. Castor
brings resources and people together that serve to get logistics accomplished
in the world of business and commerce. [3]
Meanwhile
the TNP Kronos [8cn30] is conjunct the star Alhena [9cn] about which Nick
Fiorenza writes:
Alhena can indicate the need to sign a
document or legalize a project, involvement, or commitment, which makes it
possible to engage in a new level of involvement. [4]
If we
progress the Ingress chart to 21 November, when it was announced that the Ukranian
Government was unwilling to sign the agreement with EU, we find a Mars-Saturn
square triggered by the progressed meridian axis, leading to the violence that
followed.
